George Arstingstall, the king of elephant
trainers. is on the way to India one of the
most novel missionary enterprises ever under
taken. He sailed from New York last Satur-
day, and received an appropriate send off from
all the show people in the city. He is better
known as the Professor" and Is certainly one
of the PRINCIPALS of the faculty which has per-
fected the education of the elephant for a,nuse-
ment purposes. Every is familiar with the
development of this education. from the simple
trick OF ringing bell or grinding hand organ,
that excited the wonder of the circus goers of
the last generation. How those old time assem-
blages, those primitive trainers, and even those
pioneer performing animals. would stare at the
antics of the performing elephants of today.
Their education includes such accomplish.
ments as dancing, head balancing, pyramid and
other acrobatic formations veoc;pede riding,
sparring. and long list of other tricks.
Indeed, they have been taught to do so many
tricks and taught we'll that there is no fur
Their demand for educators. and SO the Profess
sor. whose salary has greatly exceeded those
even of professors of bailplaying. was con-
fronted with the cold fact that he would have to
stand reduction, as a result of the logical op
Grafton of the law of supply and demand. But
1t happens that snug portion of his earnings
has stuck to his fingers and the Professor is In
a position to be independent of even the great
est show on earth. He has determined to strike
out on line of experiment that eclipses in bold
ness the carrying of Goals to Newcastle. He
has gone to India, the land of elephants, to show
the people there how to train the animals that
they have used for ages beasts of burden.
He does not expect to be able to teach them any,
thing in the way of additionally ntilizilg the
elephant in work. But he is sure he can show
the mahout and the rajah unsupported amuse-
ment possibilities in the herd of elephants they
only use in such practical fashion as fetching
and Carrying The Professor got this idea from
the establishment shown by the Burmese at
PENDANTS upon the sacred white elephant when
they first the performing elephants He
has since learned that this sort of thing is un-
known in the elephant countries. His plan is to
buy the animals they only cost about $500 therel.
and after educating them little, to sell them
at comfortable advance to some nabob who can
afford to pay for little amusement He thinks
that he can do this ''over and over again." as
Tony Pastor sings. He also proposes to give
the Hindoo elephant handlers some points. on
the breeding of the animals in captivity, which
he is said to have been the first to accomplish.

A citizen of Huntington county month ago

the same. the aforesaid citizen paid the money
and departed. In few days the citizen again
appeared and informed the postmaster that the
money had not arrived. Major informed him
that 1T certainly would all be right, but in case
it did not he could issue duplicate order and
the citizen could not in any event lose anything.
This paclied him for few days, but from time
to time he came in wanting know why In

thought he had not done lis duty
Last Saturday evening the fellow returned

accosted Major Shearer with the remark that
that money had not been received when the
Major expressed his regret. and suggested that
there must be some delay in mails somewhere,

slammed down letter to show that the money
had not been received. intimating that the post
Office had stolen his money, and exclaimed that
he believed the postmaster had not sent his

to pacify him suggested that a duplicate order
be issued; but no, he would have nothing of the
kind; he had enough of that Office, and wanted
his money. The Major suggested differently
but that would not srit him. You have my

The Whitfield family consists of three mem

years old. Mr. Whitfield entered as clerk and
eventually became the head of the concern.

Miss Whitfield strongly resembles her father,
is slightly above the medium height and has a
graceful and wel-formed figure. Her features
are almost perfect in regularity. she has bright,
dark eyes and is half way between being blonde
and brunette She has travelled abroad ex-

be learned of the trousseau beyond the fact that
it will be rich and extensive-in keeping with the
